(....Yes, I've set this to publish while I'm running my marathon.)
Swimming: Only one swim this week - should be more next week as part of recovery. It did go pretty well though. No PRs like last week, but I also wasn't going all-out. Now that I'm back in the pool where I can measure my speed (feel free to buy me a Garmin 910XT), I am amazed to see that I am consistently swimming a moderate pace of 2:10-2:15/100. I'm hoping to get that down to 2:00/100 with the help of some off-season swim lessons.
Biking: Nil. As in "none." Just like last week, Coach wanted me to stay away from the bike just to make sure my IT band didn't act up.
Runs: Just some short, easy runs at marathon pace. The first one did not go well - legs STILL felt like crap, but they've loosed up nicely and I actually felt downright antsy during yesterday's shakeout. Also, the race itself is a run, duh. More on that Monday.
So all in all, a very low-volume taper week that has me raring to go (okay, except for this cold I can't shake) for the last race of the year.
Back on Monday with a race report, I swear!
